A must-do tour!

Justine_C, Aug 2025

One of the best, most emotional and special tours you could do. Phil was not only a great guy, he was so knowledgeable. He knew everyone in the local areas which made the tour so intimate. I left this area with a deep sense of pride for our Australian soldiers. Sad too that so many lay beneath fields never to be found.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Merci Justine, and thank you for a great few days..

A Wonderful And Memorable Experience Visiting the Memorials on the Western Front

Ian_L, Oct 2024

Laying a wreath at Menin Gate during the Last Post ceremony was definitely a very moving and memorable moment and a wonderful way to complete this experience. We enjoyed every minute of the 2 day tour. Visiting these memorials along the Western Front has long been a dream of my husband’s and Phil certainly did it justice. We would recommend this to all visitors.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you, we did have a couple of great days out and laying a wreath at the Last Post Ceremony was a perfect way to end a Western Front visit. Enjoy the rest of your trip and do keep in touch Regards.... Phil.

Fantastic two days on the Western Front
